CREATE A CLUSTER

Review the End User License Agreement, check the box to agree and click Submit.

1. Setup Cluster

Name the cluster.

Select the nodes for the cluster.

If any nodes are missing, verify that the node is currently running and on the same network

NOTE: The total capacity for the cluster is dynamically updated at the bottom of the page when selecting nodes.

2. Confirm cluster protection level

The recommended 2 or 3 drive protection level will be selected by default based on the cluster size and node type.

If Customize Protection Level is displayed, the option is available to increase the resilience of the system by selecting 3 drive protection. Keep in mind that selecting 3 drive protection will result in less capacity for the cluster.

NOTE: The option for selecting the drive protection level is only available at cluster creation and cannot be changed after the fact.

3. Create a password for your admin account

Type in the password for your admin account.

Retype the password to confirm.

Click Create Cluster.

Complete cluster configuration by confirming the settings for monitoring, networking, and time zone preferences in the right-hand panel of the dashboard.

To access the dashboard in the Qumulo Core UI remotely, use any node's IP address to connect via web browser.

RESOLUTION

You should now be able to successfully install the rails, rack the nodes and create a cluster for QC24 and QC40 platforms
